“…Nevertheless, this type of glue was reported to be arteriotoxic and associated with a high redissection rate when used to adhere the aortic layers in type A aortic dissection in other studies [8]. As Tanaka and his colleagues used the glue to adhere the dissected layer to each other, it was comprehensible that they used GRF glue as it shows the best reinforcing power in tissue adherence [9]. However, the GRF glue is inferior to other tissue adhesive types like cryoprecipitate glue or two-component fi brin sealant as a haemostatic anastomotic sealant [9].…”

In our institution, we use Bioglue® surgical sealant (Cryolife, Inc., Kennesaw, GA, USA), which is a Bovine serum albumin-glutaraldehyde (BSAG) glue to seal all fi nished anastomoses, which was reported by Eleftriades and his colleagues to not predispose to anastomotic pseudoaneurysms in thoracic aortic surgery [10].…”

a These authors contributed equally to this paper Summary: Background: This study reports the mid-term prevalence and therapeutic consequences of anastomotic leaks after surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissections. Patients and methods: From July 2007 to July 2013, 93 patients survived surgery for acute type A dissections at our center and underwent a standardized follow-up. The pre-, peri-, and postoperative as well as the midterm results were collected prospectively. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed 7 days, 3, and 12 months after surgery, and yearly thereafter, to assess the presence or progression of anastomotic leaks at the aorto-prosthesis anastomotic sites. Results: The mean follow-up was 4 years (1534 ± 724 days). Follow-up CT revealed anastomotic leaks in 4 patients (4.3 %). All leaks developed during midterm follow-up and half of them did not increase with time. Two patients required redo surgery for an increase in periaortic extravasation and compression of neighboring structures. Further analysis was not able to reveal independent risk factors for development or deterioration of leaks. Conclusions: Anastomotic leaks after surgery for Stanford Type A aortic dissection can develop in midterm follow-up, even after initially excellent results. Meticulous follow-up is mandatory to detect possible deterioration and a need for redo surgery.Keywords: Aortic dissection, Stanford type A aortic dissection, cardiac surgery, anastomotic leak, CT angiography type A aortic dissection patients, incidence of anasto motic leaks, development of pseudoaneurysms, and their clinical signifi cance remain largely unknown. This study monitored the prevalence of such a pathology during the midterm follow-up after surgical repair of type A aortic dissection and attempted to explore the therapeutic options and management strategy for this complication.

“…GRF glue seems to have three to seven times the adhesive force of fibrin glue. 45,46) GRF glue also plays a role in sealing the defect, reinforcing the necrosed myocardium, and preventing suture cut by the crosslinking of fragile tissue; by contrast, fibrin sealant does not crosslink surrounding tissue. 22,23) To use GRF glue, a surgeon needs to control the ratio of adhesive (i.e.…”

Treatment for postinfarction ventricular septal defect has been improving for several decades. Aggressive resection of the infarcted myocardium (infarctectomy and closure technique) and preserving infarcted myocardium (infarct exclusion technique) have been technically modified. Recent improvement includes use of surgical glue, using an additional patch for infarct exclusion, septal exclusion, sandwich technique via right or left ventricular approach, and endovascular repair. This field still has room for cardiac surgeons to improve surgical strategy and technique.

“…First approved for use in 1988 [1] the applications of liquid Wbrin sealant are expanding with current guidelines indicating improved safety and eYcacy of two-component Wbrin sealant products such as Tisseel VH (Baxter, Westlake Village, CA, USA) [2,3]. Current applications in urology utilize both the hemostatic and sealant properties.…”

Application of fibrin sealant at the urethrovesical anastomosis in robotic assisted radical prostatectomy: does it enable earlier Foley catheter and Jackson–Pratt drain removal?

Leakage at the urethrovesical anastomosis in the post-operative period can result in morbidity including ileus. We examined the eVectiveness of using a Wbrin sealant at the anastomosis to limit urine leakage thereby facilitating earlier Jackson-Pratt drain and Foley catheter removal following robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALRP). Forty consecutive patients underwent RALRP by one surgeon at our institution. The Wrst 20 patients underwent standard operation and served as the control group. The subsequent 20 patients underwent the same operation with addition of Wbrin sealant following a running absorbable sutured urethrovesical anastomosis. The two groups were compared for age (60.5 vs. 58.2 years), preoperative PSA (5.23 vs. 4.71), Gleason score (6.3 vs. 6.5), stage at resection, and prostate size at resection (51.7 vs. 47.7 g). Wilcoxon rank sum test determined no statistically signiWcant diVerences in the groups. Patients in the Wbrin sealant group had 1.3 versus 2.1 days with a Jackson-Pratt drain, 9.75 versus 12.1 days with a catheter, and an average of 38.6 versus 63.2 cc of drainage per shift. Catheters were removed when a cystogram demonstrated no extravasation of contrast. Two patients in the control group and no patients in the Wbrin sealant group had large-volume leakage and ileus post-operatively. In patients undergoing RALRP, application of Wbrin sealant at the urethrovesical anastomosis appears to facilitate sealing, thereby allowing earlier removal of the JP drain, by 0.8 days, and the Foley catheter, by 2.35 days, than in controls. No patients in the Wbrin sealant group suVered post-operative ileus. This adjunct may be especially useful early in the learning process to reduce morbidity.
